Not sure any "one" book covers all...but Modern High-Power Rocketry 2 by Mark Canepa is a pretty impressive read :wink:[h=1][/h]

Does anyone know if there were any book(s) written about model rocketry and the Hardy Boys?
Maybe Tom Swift and the Model Rocket, or Nancy Drew solves the case of the misfiring model rocket?
It seems like such a natural to promote the hobby to the right age of youngsters...

I had all the Hardy Boys Books when I was a Kid. This one had a Rocket. I don't remember what it was about exactly, but it's Hardy Boys, so it must be good.

The publishers of Make magazine are supposed to have a high power book coming out some time in 2015. They're the ones who put out Make: Rockets: Down-to-Earth Rocket Science by Mike Westerfield. That was about LP, but I loved it, and I can't wait for the HP book.

Know your budget- the real one not the one you wish you had. Stay within that budget. Simple.
So, Westerfield's new HPR book . . . What is the difference between the two versions I have been seeing images of ?

Canepa is a good reference, and I also like Model Rocket Design and Construction by Van Milligan, even though it is more at the MPR end of HPR IIRC.
I have Mark Canepa's book ( I'm even mentioned in it - LOL ! ) . . .
I was looking for something a little more "up to date" to supplement it.
Why are there two different covers on Whitfield's book ?

Maybe its a first and second printing type thing.
Possibly . . . I want to get the most current one, if there are any changes to the book !

I believe the bottom image is what was on Amazon for a year or so, while the book took longer than anticipated to come out. The top image is the final art on the final version which came out in print. The book isn't that old, so there isn't a second edition yet.

I kinda like Seize The Sky because Mario lives about 5 miles away from me and I'm in the book several times.
